Cortical Auditory Area of Macaca mulatta and Its Relation to the Second Somatic Sensory Area (Sm II)

Determination by Electrical Excitation of Auditory Nerve Fibers in the Spiral Osseous Lamina and by Click Stimulation

  • Chapter
Cortical Sensory Organization

Part of the book series: Cortical Sensory Organization ((CSO,volume 3))

Abstract

The study here reported was carried out more than 35 years ago, when the method of electrical stimulation of nerve fibers in the exposed spiral osseous lamina, first applied to the cat by Woolsey and Walzl (43, 44) was employed to define topological relations between the cochlea and the cortical auditory field in the monkey [Walzl and Woolsey (33); Woolsey and Walzl (45)]. Only a general diagram of the results has ever been published [Woolsey and Fairman (42); Walzl (32); Woolsey (37); Davis (11); Woolsey (41)]. The present account fully reports the data collected and undertakes to relate the findings to more detailed results now available on the cat [Woolsey (41); Reale and Imig (29)] and to other auditory studies on primates [Ades and Felder (1); McCulloch et al. (23); Licklider and Kryter (22); Pribram et al. (28); Kennedy (20); Woolsey (41); Neff (25); Bailey et al. (4); Brugge and Merzenich (7); Merzenich and Brugge (24); Imig et al. (19)]
